Go, Suity!

[doodab]

Do we need to send out a search party? I suggest we start at Stamford bridge or the Emirates in case he's thinking of defecting.

You don't think he's at loftus road do you?

[original PM]

rumour has it he pulled the hottest female trader in the IB and has been to busy banging her silly on the board roomtable to post on here.



my sources could of course be wrong

Postcard from Jersey

Blimey I didn't realise this is getting so much attention

Jersey is really nice, the hotel is really nice. The consultancy are really nice. The client are nice enough but very snappy fingers, do it now, rush rush rush. This is not such a good fit for my measure twice and cut once mentality.

Already they dropped the wrong database as they were jumping to snapping of fingers, while I made mental notes not to do a firkin fing without a written spec signed in triplicate.

So today I was asked to estimate some changes, which I have done, but the pile of crap I have inherited is full of bugs and the automated emails is sends out are full of grammar and spelling mistakes. So I papered over my arse by draughting a formal change request with scope, acceptance criteria etc. And I scoped out any bug fixes or grammar corrections as they are not in the requirements. I sent is across to the BA for review and sign off. She seemed happy enough but a little put back as "she doesn't normally get this level of documentation"

I'll be fooked if I going to get dragged into doing "favours" and "can you justs" and stuff on the back of a cocktail napkin. I'm too indoctrinated in doing things by the book.

Thanks for all the interest and I hope there is enough fresh material in this post to keep the gurning masses amused for a while.

And downhill it goes

And downhill it goes

Que sera sera. If they want people that hop around like fleas on a griddle doing things on a whim with zero documentation and making fundamental mistakes then I'm sure there are plenty of folks that can do that.

I OTOH am a professional.

Maybe suity will be the making of this IB.

Go, suity!

I OTOH when I grow up I want to be a contractor.

If doing things properly makes me a bad contractor in your eyes, this can only reflect on you.

Keep digging, it amuses me.

Not trolling Suity. I've met you and you're a nice guy but why is every gig such hassle? I've been doing this for over thirty years now and yeah while I've seen the good and the bad I've put the ******* in their place when necessary and invoiced and generally had a great time doing it.

You're in somebody else's environment so you dance to their tune or fck off, end of the day it's always gonna be your choice.

Just from what you've posted this'll be another flounce / they're not professional / they don't understand me. Not got a crystal ball just basing this on yer previous posts. Best of luck.

So what you sayin then?
